Ferrari F80

Why it matters

Revealed in 2024 as the successor to the LaFerrari, the F80 joined the 288 GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo in Ferrari's bloodline of limited-production flagship supercars. Its 2,992 cc, 120-degree twin-turbo V6 drew directly on experience from the Le Mans-winning 499P and produced 900 cv on its own—300 cv per liter—while two electric motors on the front axle and a third motor-generator at the rear raised combined output to 1,200 cv. Electrically assisted turbochargers placed a motor between each turbine and compressor to reduce lag and recover energy, technology informed by Formula 1. An asymmetric ‘1+’ cockpit placed the passenger slightly behind the driver, narrowing the cabin and body while preserving two seats. The carbon-fiber chassis, active suspension and all-wheel-drive hybrid system were engineered around extreme performance, while the front triplane, S-duct, flat floor, large diffuser and active rear wing generated 1,050 kg of downforce at 250 km/h. Ferrari quoted 0–100 km/h in 2.15 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 5.75 seconds and a maximum speed of 350 km/h. Limited to 799 examples, the F80 redefined Ferrari's flagship formula around racing efficiency, aerodynamic load and an electrified V6 rather than cylinder count alone.
